The Star of David? Or the Star of Remphan!
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. – Acts 7:43
I have read the Book of Acts and Stephen’s discourse to the Jews just before he was stoned by them many times through the decades, but it was only from November of 2018 that I learned the connection with Acts 7:43 and the so called Star of David. Ask any Jew today, and they will not be able to tell you the origin of their national symbol! Please see:

Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. – Acts 7:43
Amos 5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Steven Anderson: The star of David, where does that symbol come from?
Jewish man: It’s never written explicitly in the Bible itself.
Steven Anderson: Is it in the Talmud?
Another man: No.
Steven Anderson: Is there a passage in the Bible about that or no?
Another man: No.
Steven Anderson: Okay. So you’re not really sure exactly where that comes from?
Another man: No.
Another man: You got me.
Steven Anderson: Nobody knows, huh?
Same man: I don’t know, I’m not, yeah.
Steven Anderson: Because I know it’s called the Star of David.
Same man: Yeah.
Steven Anderson: Does it have anything to do with David?
Same man: No, I don’t think so.
Older Jewish man: There must be somewhere. I do not remember exactly what the association was.
Steven Anderson: I believe that what they call the Star of David is actually the Star of Remphan. Because when you study the Bible, you’ll see that when they worshiped other gods, the Bible talks about them carrying the banner of the star of their god, Remphan.
Texe Marrs: You rejected the god of the Bible. You took up for yourself the star, that’s the six point star of your god called Remphan or Chiun. All these were names for Moloch, the great Baal, the great fire god, who was the devil. Beelzebub. And they were shocked about this. Now, who is this star god? If they only read the Old Testament, they would know this. In Amos, God said, you have taken up the star. And you’ve made me furious by doing that. And you have actually sacrificed your own children to the star god through the fires. They sacrificed their own children, the Jews did, to the star god.
Steven Anderson: When they worshiped a false god, they had the star of Remphan as an icon and as a symbol. We never see a star of David in Scripture, but the star of the false god, Remphan. And so we know today that they are not worshiping the true god. Because the Bible says, he that denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. But he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
If the Jews do not believe on the Son, the Bible says they don’t have the Father. So who do they have? Somebody else, a false god. Therefore, they’re not worshiping the same God that we worship.
Some people will say, oh, they worship God the father, they just don’t acknowledge Jesus. But the Bible teaches that it’s impossible to worship the Father if you don’t acknowledge the Son.
Texe Marrs: You get back to the Masonic fraternity of Freemasonry. Their great symbol is G. You’ll look at the star on the compass, which is a stylized star of David. In fact, they have the entire star of David in many Masonic temples. Why is that? Masonry is a study of Judaism and of the Kabbalah.
Newscaster: The Jewish Tribune newspaper, on October 28, 1927, stated, Freemasonry is based on Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from the Masonic ritual and what is left.
Texe Marrs: Albert Pike said in his book, Morals and Dogma, that the Kabbalah is the very basis. Without the Kabbalah, we would not have the 33 rituals of the Masonic lodge. But the God they worship, the great architect, is Moloch, the star god.
Another preacher: In John 8:37-39, it’s interesting because Jesus said this. He said, “I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.”
“They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, if ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.”
So it’s interesting because in verse 37, he acknowledged that they’re Abraham’s seed. He acknowledged that they’re physical descendants of Abraham. But then in verse 39, he’s questioning. He’s saying, you know, if ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. And he’s basically saying, you’re not the children of Abraham because, like we already talked about later in the passage, he says, you’re of your father the devil. So it’s interesting that Jesus himself said that you can be a physical descendant of Abraham and be of the seed of Abraham, and he doesn’t consider you a child of Abraham.
Older Jewish man: There is another passage. It’s in the Gospel of John. John chapter 8, verse 44, where he says that the Jews are the sons of the devil. That’s what he was preaching! (Jewish man exclaims that in an angry tone of voice!)
Another preacher: Jesus himself taught, ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it. So according to the Lord Jesus Christ, he said, ye are of your father the devil. So Jesus believed that they weren’t following Abraham. They weren’t following Moses. They weren’t following the prophets. They weren’t following God. He says they’re following their father, the devil.
